  • Patent number: 8118972
    Abstract: Toilet paper based on tissue paper being treated with an O/W emulsion comprising at least one non-ionic emulsifier, at least one anionic co-emulsifier, an oil component having a polarity of at least 20 mN/m or a mixture of oil components wherein at least 75 weight-% of the oils constituting the mixture have a polarity of at least 20 mN/m, 6 to 35 weight % of water, based on the total weight of the emulsion, wherein the total amount of emulsifiers and co-emulsifiers is between 4 and 20 weight based on the total weight of the emulsion. Since in the above lotion composition the external phase is aqueous, a web treated therewith can easily be wet by water and does not float on the water if it is to be disposed in a toilet. Moreover, this lotion shows an improved brightness after application on tissue paper, smell and rheology.

  • Patent number: 7749334
    Abstract: The invention relates to the use of agents, which contain at least one disinfection system based on selected organic peracids and combinations of peracids, in automatically functioning systems, in which fragile medical appliances, in particular, endoscopes, are cleaned and disinfected. According to the invention, the appliances are brought into contact with an aqueous disinfection agent solution after they have been treated and/or at the same time they are being treated with an aqueous cleaning solution. The invention also relates to cleaning and disinfection agents and methods which are all suited for carrying out this purpose.

  • Publication number: 20090314444
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a tissue paper comprising a lotion composition, said lotion being a liquid water-in-oil emulsion comprising (A) a hydrocarbon-based oil, (B) optionally at least one further oil, (C) 3 to 40 weight % of at least one non-ionic water-in-oil emulsifier, (D) 0.5 to 10 weight % of at least one coemulsifier based on an ethylene oxide-modified glyceride, (E) optionally 1 to 15 weight % of at least one humectant, (F) optionally up to 10 weight % of a metal soap, and (G) 6 to 35 weight % of water, wherein the weight % values relate to the total weight of the lotion composition. The lotioned tissue paper of the invention is very stable, shows excellent softness properties and is capable of efficiently transferring lotion to the skin of the user. Moreover, the lotion can be applied at relatively low temperatures and does not adversely affect the whiteness degree of the tissue paper.
